- Red nail polish
- Stripping tape
- Tweezers
- Star beads
- Gold nail polish
- Nail polish remover
1. Apply the base coat
Apply a base coat of clear nail polish and let it dry. This ensures the colored nail polish won't stain your nail.
2. Apply red nail polish
Apply two coats of red nail polish, waiting in between for the coat to dry.
3. Clean up
Use a q-tip or fine-tipped brush with nail polish remover to clean up any nail polish residue around the edges of the nail.
4. Shape the Christmas tree
Cut stripping tape and apply it to the nail in a criss-cross shape, as shown above
5. Paint the tree
Using a fine-tipped brush, apply gold nail polish to each pocket of space between the stripping tape.
6. Remove the stripping tape
Carefully take the stripping tape off your nail using tweezers or scissors. It's best to do this before the nail polish fully dries, so the tape isn't stuck to the nail.
7. Apply the bead
Apply the green star bead on top by dipping the back in clear polish and firmly applying it to the top of your gold Christmas tree.
8. Apply the top coat
Apply a clear top coat and let it dry.
